Re: Change \contentsname in Book(KOMA-Script)

Hi all,
I have done a presentation using the beamer class with LyX and the result

But after some modifications (such as moving some slides, inserting new ones

you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

The control sequence at the end of the top line
of your error message was never \def'ed. If you have

and I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

I've inserted something that you may have forgotten.
(See the above.)
With luck, this will get me unwedged. But if you
really didn't forget anything, try typing `2' now; then
my insertion and my current dilemma will both disappear.
I have checked the file: every slides begins correctly with its own Frame
title and the red rule which closes the slides.
Is there anyone who could help me with fixing this problem?
Thank you very much in advance for your cooperation.

You may have something improperly nested (for instance, a BeginFrame
that looks correct may be actually be nested under something else). If
you can't spot something like that, try a bisection search. Cut out the
second half of the slides (roughly), leaving in the final EndFrame, and
see if it compiles. If yes, put back half what you cut; if no, cut half
what you kept. Iterate until you home in on the culprit.

Re: hide bibliography section?
Do you use biblatex or standard bibtex for your references?
If the former, simply omit the /printbibliography command at the end of the
document.
If the latter, put the Lyx-inserted bibliography inset at the end of the
document into a Lyx-note inset (to keep access to refs through the citation
dialogue) and add, in ERT,
/nobibliography{/path/to/your/bib/file}

If you have a recent TeX engine, \middle| should do what you want.
LyX doesn't support it yet, so you will simply see \middle in red,
but it will work on output.

hide bibliography section?
Hello Is there a way to hide the bibliography? I am currently working on a the summary to my thesis, and I would like to cite some works but at the same time avoid a bibliography section in the document (which would be useless since all the references are in the thesis, and both documents will be available to the reader). Currently I am writing the works in plain text, but I would prefer to do it the LyX way, via the citation dialogue. So, is it possible to insert citations in the document but still avoid having a bibliography section? Thank you Liviu -- Do you know how to read? http://www.alienetworks.com/srtest.cfm Do you know how to write? http://garbl.home.comcast.net/~garbl/stylemanual/e.htm#e-mail

something wrong with biblatex
Dear Lyxers, Something is going wrong with Biblatex which I've just discovered. I think Lyx is well configured, it recognizes the bib files and makes a final pdf file. But the pdf file shows the "Bibliography" title, without any references. In the preamble, I've put the entire .bib path, and I've tried exporting the .lyx file to a .tex file and to compile it with comand lines, result is the same. So surely I've made something wrong, but I don't know what... Thanks for your help! ST essai_biblio.lyx Description: application/lyx

Re: authorindex in LyX?
Sorry to be "spamming" but after sending my post I realized that it was
a bit strange of me not to try what would happen without the multicols
begin/end-pair, and just call \printauthorindex. When I remove the multi
column stuff, no extra two pages are generated, which should probably be
relevant for you people...
But the main problem remains, of course.

I am using the Book style, with XeTeX and unicode (enabled through the

the LyX site). This works very well, and I have a bibliography

make an "ERT" or whatever it is called):
\begin{multicols}{2}
\printauthorindex
\end{multicols}
(I should probably mention that I have multi columns working just fine,
so that is not a problem)
What happens now is that:
- No (visible) author index is produced.
- ...but two blank additional pages are added to the resulting PDF file

- No errors are reported in LyX when generating the PDF
So.. No errors, but no author index...
When I read the manual for authorindex, it says that a perl script named
"authorindex" should be executed on the .aux file. I managed to locate
that script on my system, and I also tried to put it in the directory of
the .lyx document that I am working with. But I guess the problem has
something to do with this script, because I assume that it is never
executed. So, if I understand the situation correctly, what my question
really is, is:
How to make LyX execute the authorindex perl script in a way that will
allow me to produce an authorindex in my LyX document?

bugs regarding the GUI though, but I will try that out some more.)

a question about the import function under Lyx 1.6.4.1 -- a further remark
Dear list members and developers, I have completely removed Lyx 1.6.4.1 from my laptop this afternoon. Then I installed the older version Lyx 1.6.3. A reminder: my operating system is Windows XP with Service Pack 3. I have been using MiKTeX 2.8 with WinEdt for about two months. My Miktex installation is complete. Problems (a) During installation the standard installer did not realize again that Miktex 2.8 had already been installed: I was promoted to give the path to the c:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.8\miktex\bin library. (b) After installation I made an attempt importing some standard LaTeX documents created by WinEdt. In this case everything worked fine, i.e., I could import all the LaTeX files I had been unable to import under Lyx 1.6.4.1. There arises again the question: what is the problem with Lyx 1.6.4.1. If there is no problem with version 1.6.4.1 what have i done wrong earlier? Any remark or help is highly appreciated. Sincerely yours G. Szeidl -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.
